"Publications shown on my CV represent only a snapshot of my academic journey. Behind every published article, there are drafts, revisions, and often many rejections. This page documents those unseen moments, including the journal decisions I (we) received. I hope to highlight the reality of academic life and remind myself (and others) that rejection is part of growth."
If you are reading this page, we are friends. Rejection is normal in academia, and each rejection helps us grow in some way; it guides us toward the right home for our paper. Let’s move on and keep creating great things to help solve real-world problems. And if you feel sad at any point, I’m here for you. 💙
With love and support,
Seta
